The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 625 Holy crap! A giant python!!!
Lu Zhen's understanding of Long Ling was limited to some superficial aspects; he knew absolutely nothing about Long Ling's personality and character.

At that moment, Lu Zhen was chirping softly, thinking that no one else could hear him.

To his surprise, Long Ling glanced at him sideways, snorted coldly, and walked past them.

Lu Zhen lowered his head guiltily and then stood back a bit. He hadn't meant to say anything bad about Long Ling; he had just spoken too quickly and thoughtlessly.

The sun slowly emerged at this time, and sunlight pierced through the layers of leaves to reach the ground.

The snakes, insects, and rodents hiding in the grass also quieted down, as if they had never existed.

Lin Xiang'er had been keeping an eye on him ever since Long Ling left to make a phone call.

In her memory, the Holy Lord was never an easy person to talk to, and he rarely smiled.

Just now, she clearly sensed that the Holy Lord was very happy, as if he was looking forward to something.

This made Lin Xiang'er feel a little suspicious.

Just then, a rustling sound came from inside, and the Special Administration Bureau personnel immediately went on alert.

It's no wonder they were so surprised; they had been easily outmaneuvered even Director Gu and Lu Zhen before, without them noticing at all.

This is enough to prove that the things in this Gu God Temple are a bit strange.

Before long, everyone smelled a foul, fishy odor coming from their left.

"Holy crap! A giant python!!!"

No one expected that they would encounter such a huge python when they came here. Its appearance even polluted the surrounding air.

"Could this giant python have also been raised by the people of the Gu God Temple?!"

Bound tightly, Lin Xiang'er knelt down reflexively upon seeing the giant python.

Everyone:...

Just by looking at Lin Xiang'er's posture, the answer is self-evident.

The giant python didn't immediately look at its 'prey'; instead, it looked with some confusion at the dragon spirit standing not far away.

The strong, pungent stench made Long Ling frown, but he didn't kill the python immediately.

Most importantly, Long Ling could tell at a glance that the python had already developed sentience.

He even brought Yun Ran here; perhaps he can find the source of the Heavenly Dao from this python.

Gu Yuan wanted to take action, but looking at the giant python, he didn't attack them immediately. Instead, he stared at Long Ling.

This made Gu Yuan's heart tremble slightly, after all, the Dragon Spirit was an imposter.

It might be possible to fool others, but if this python was specially raised by the Gu God Temple, it might be able to distinguish between the real and fake Dragon Spirit.

Just like how the magical artifacts of these Taoist practitioners can easily distinguish their owners.

Just as Gu Yuanxin was in his throat, Long Ling glanced at him.

The python, which had seemed rather aggressive before, suddenly retreated some distance and obediently lowered its head, adopting a submissive posture.

A childish voice came from the direction of the python: "Ah Snake greets the Holy Lord!"

At first glance, the sound seemed harmless, but before long, the group, who had many talismans on their bodies, watched helplessly as a significant amount of their talismans were consumed.

With a wave of his hand, Long Ling commanded in an unquestionable tone, "Step back!" The python paused for a moment, then obediently stepped back.

Lin Xiang'er, who had initially doubted whether the Holy Lord's identity was problematic, immediately dismissed the idea after seeing the Holy Lord repel the snake worm.

The python quickly disappeared, but the stench in the air lingered stubbornly, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

Lin Xiang'er has not stood up since she knelt down, until someone noticed that her expression was a little strange.

"This foul stench, is it poisonous?"

Gu Yuan remembered that Long Ling had said that if the Gu worms on their bodies were not removed and their 'lovers' died, they would also be at risk of committing suicide together.

He was so frightened that he quickly stuffed several antidote pills into Lin Xiang'er's mouth, including some that Yun Ran had given him.

Lu Zhen was also apprehensive and had several protective talismans pasted on Lin Xiang'er's body, as he was also somewhat afraid.

"The python's voice just now seemed to have a slight sonic attack effect as well?"

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why the talismans on their bodies would be consumed.

Seeing that Lin Xiang'er's complexion had returned to normal, Gu Yuan looked at her with a stern face and asked, "What is the origin of this python?"

Lin Xiang'er glanced at Gu Yuan with some surprise, clearly not expecting that even though they had all come here, and brought the Holy Lord with them, they still didn't know this.
Perhaps the Holy Lord really had his own purpose, which is why he pretended to be on good terms with these Special Administration Bureau personnel, but in reality, he didn't tell them anything.

Lin Xiang'er glanced at Long Ling, but only saw his back. Her previous betrayal of the Gu God Palace was entirely at the behest of the Holy Lord.

But now, Lin Xiang'er couldn't figure it out, so she immediately lowered her head and pretended to be dead, completely like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Gu Yuan was speechless at the sight, but he didn't press the matter further, lest it backfire.

"Watch her!"

After giving his instructions, Gu Yuan walked towards the Dragon Spirit.

Logically, they should have entered the Gu God Palace in one fell swoop.

But Long Ling stopped in her tracks, as if she wanted to rest there.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath: "Have you noticed something amiss?"

Having never gone on a mission with Long Ling before, Gu Yuan had no idea that having a capricious member in the team could be so difficult.

Unfortunately, this is overseas, so the number of people they can bring is limited, unlike in China, where a single phone call can summon countless people.

When there are few people, they must discuss and cooperate, and avoid infighting and conflicts.

Long Ling was unaware that Gu Yuan had already labeled him as difficult to deal with. He found a rock that looked fairly sturdy and sat down directly on it.

In Long Ling's mind, there was never any concept of teamwork; he only did things to make himself happy.

After sitting down, Long Ling answered Gu Yuan's question: "There's nothing wrong with this place. It is a bit eerie, but it's fine for me."

Gu Yuanqiang suppressed his speechlessness: "Then why are we stopping here? Aren't we almost at the Gu God Palace?"

Long Ling nodded: "We're almost there, but I have to wait for someone. If I go in first and something is missing, I'm afraid I'll be wrongly accused."

Yun Ran is absolutely capable of framing him. Who knows if the treasure inside is intact? He doesn't want to take the blame.

Gu Yuan: ...

"Who's coming?"
